ON A TOWNHOME ON THIRD STREET

We don’t often feature townhomes on this list. In all honesty how can you call a home “one-of-a-kind” if the place next-door is virtually the same? While each individual unit may not differ much from one another, this entire development is unique. It’s called LaRue Townhomes. If you’ve driven down third street in the last year you’ve seen these going up. At the moment only one is on the market. The urban style townhome has 2 levels. The first floor has an open floor plan with the living room with finished concrete floors and quartz countertops. Upstairs are two bedrooms each with a walk in closet and full baths with full tile shower. The unit comes with one designated parking space and is zoned for short term rentals investment.

ON A WATERFRONT HOME IN SHALLOTTE
1721 Windward Place SW,
This home looks like it was built at the turn of the century, and it was, but not that century. The Victorian Style, with its slopping roof, formal layout and wrap-around porches, was named because they were popular when Queen Victoria reigned at the end 1800’s and the start of the 1900’s. This one of a kind home was built one hundred years later and is the perfect mixture of historic charm with all the modern conveniences. The water you see in this photo is the Little Saucepan Creek . With three bedrooms, three full baths and more than 3,400 square feet it is located in the private community of Point Winward. Features include a large kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, a formal dinning room, a large butlers pantry, and a Carolina Room with views of the water views.

On top of all that, literally on top, is a third floor bonus room. Asking price $552,487.

ON A MODERN HOME ON FIGURE EIGHT ISLAND
521 Beach Road North, Figure Eight Island
This is a modern style home, but its story actually starts two centuries ago. In 1877 a lumber ship was lost at sea. It wasn’t found until 2015, on the very grounds that this house now stands. The wreckage served as inspiration for this home in Wilmington’s most exclusive neighborhood. The architect calls this style “Yacht Modern.” The house is built with mahogany wood, stainless steel, aluminum and impact resistant glass and has a boat theme throughout. It has four bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths in just over 4,000 square feet. In all, there are four levels each connected by floating stairs . Our favorite part is the roof top swimming pool which provides 360 degree views of Figure Eight Island. Asking price $4,850,000
